    Need help with database

    Hey Guys.

    My english is not the best, but i'll do my best.
    On the job i've got asked if I could help adding a new box to our database.

    The database is in danish, so it's not very easy to understand for you, but I will try to explain.



    The database is used for all our cellphones in the firm, we got around 1600 phones.
    The rules now says that we need to have a list on which employes have a workphone, and which have a work/private cellphone.
    And for that we need to have added a new box, where it is possible to choose either Workphone or Work/privatephone. In danish it's called Arbejdstelefon - Arbejds/privattelefon

    Can someone please help me to add this to the database?

    I've uploaded the database itself here:

    My Danish is not very good but ill try to help.

    First of all, i think you mean you need the box to appear in your report ? because i allready see a combobox that says "Arbejdstelefon - Arbejds/privattelefon" in one of your forms
    And dude, i really, really hope that the data in your database is stuff that you made up. Because i see all sorts of privacy related information.

    I took a quick glance at it again and i see no control source bound to the Arbejds/privattelefon combobox in the form Mobiltelefoner.
    Right click that combobox and set the control source to the Arbejds/privattelefon in your Mobilbase table.

    If the control is not bound to a table, it will not be visible the next time you open the record.

    Now open your query Samlet_oversigt_mobil in design view and go to the next empty space you see (The one to the right of Lukket) and now select Arbejds/privattelefon from the drop-down list.
    Save the query.

    Open the report Mobiltelefoner and make a new field and place that in the report. Right click the field and set the control source for that field to Arbejds/privattelefon.

    Save the report

    I hope this helps you, otherwise youll have to explain better
